I was not an early adopter of Facebook. Like many my age, I thought it was for kids. Now, I am a user, and I enjoy the networking benefits it brings.
I commonly communicate with friends and business associates, many of whom I haven’t seen for years. My sister is a well-known artist, but she lives in Cincinnati. With her postings, I can enjoy her artwork.

Aquarium not fair to animals
Editor:
Southwest Plaza will soon become home to more than 1,000 animals in SeaQuest Aquarium’s latest venture into animal exploitation. And that’s not a good thing.
No matter how big their enclosures, no matter how many pretty pictures they paint on the walls, and no matter how many tree branches they offer, it in no way compares to the habitat that these animals were meant to be in.
And despite what they will have us believe, animals are still taken from the wild.

‘Useless ideological diatribes’
Editor:
I know it is a common practice for newspapers to have regular columnists from opposing sides of the political spectrum so that readers can benefit from different opinions on important issues.

It was in the early 1980s — I was a mere child — when I first started thumbing through the daily newspaper. I immediately flipped to the sports pages and then usually the comics or vice-versa.
I walked to the nearby 7-Eleven weekly and brought neighboring papers — the Washington Post or the Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch, to name a few — just so I could thumb through their coverage and clip out advertisements to save for my own personal collection.

Will enough ever be enough?
Editor:
The issue of gun control is once again in the spotlight, as it should be. Americans have been and still are killing each other with firearms at an alarming rate. An average of 96 Americans are shot and killed every day, and more are wounded. There have been more than 15 mass shootings since the tragedy in Parkland. (See everytownresearch.org for more statistics on gun violence.)
